Secretary of State White: 'No More Vehicle Registration Renewal Reminders By Mail'

on
Wednesday, September 30, 2015

Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White has announced that his
office will immediately suspend mailing out vehicle registration
renewal reminders to the public due to the lack of a state budget.
Those who want to continue receiving a reminder must sign up to
receive electronic notices through the Secretary of State’s web site
www.cyberdriveillinois.com.

Click
here to sign up, you will need your Registration ID and PIN found
on your current registration card. If you do not have a current
registration card, please call the Public Inquiry Division at
800-252-8980 to obtain your Registration ID and PIN number.

When making the announcement, White noted that suspending this
service will save approximately $450,000 per month, and allows his
office to prolong the mailing out of vehicle registration renewal
stickers, titles and license plates to vehicle owners. According to
White, unless a budget is approved, his postage account will be
completely depleted in a few months.

While those who receive
emailed vehicle registration renewal notices will continue to have
access to a pin number needed to renew their sticker on-line, those
who do not sign up for the electronic alerts will now have to renew
their vehicle stickers in person at a Secretary of State
office.
